RE: book recommendations?
Paul, You certainly are correct about the book being a bit dated. But it is still a great reference, especially for beginners. Even with the book you still must read the perldocs. -- Dave Davisson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Paul Evad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 9:40 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: book recommendations? > > > I know a lot of the good O'Rielly books are showing some age (1999 > publishing date).

Apache 2.0 and the accompanying mod_perl 2.0 will be a whole new ball of wax though, but they're not here yet anyway (hey Doug, going to make a second edition for 2.0 I hope?). It's a great book. I found the O'Reilly mod_perl quick reference booklet quite useful at time. Easy to carry around, packed with all the information (no fluff or explanation, like the man pages), useful. -- "Whip me.

Diving into mod_perl with this new job of mine was certinaly made much easier with 'Apache modules with perl / C' ... I'd pick it up for reference at the very least. _Thomas - This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
